Probably edited. Could of sworn he had Aish going to the Doggies as his final.

Edited? The draft was the very next day after that article. Must have been an earlier version your thinking of man

i hope this is what happens tomorrow in the draft

bombers to get Garlett and Weller!!!! wont happen, but one can dream

[Ricochet]

Heraldsun now predicting McCartin at #1 also. Amazing how quickly it can change

[elephants]

Just waiting for Emma Quayle's draft list now. Last year she really nailed them I think. Her and Twomey have the most expertise, as in have actually talked wih recruiters and know the draftees better than us so I'd be more in lend to think we're wrong than them.

She gets damn close every year the best in the business.

I'd listen/pay attention to Emma's list. But not Twomey, last 2 years he's been NOWHERE near it and she got 14/20 last year. Which is pretty damn good considering some of the picks.

Twomey got 14/20 last year as well man.

The bloke regularly speaks to recruiters and watches more of these kids than most, so I personally give good weighting to his opinions on these boys, along with Emma Quayle

Did he? I could have sworn he did worse than that.

yep http://www.afl.com.au/news/2013-11-20/cripps-in-blues-sights

Also Emma only got 12/20 last year

If the Saints do take the Key Forward,  I wonder if the Dee's will take the two top midfielders next given they hardly need two more guns, one will do, then pick a tall they need??   ???   Intriguing indeed!

If I see another phantom draft with Corey Ellis, I'm going to lose my shower completely.

Laverde is our primary target. Fingers & legs crossed that West Coast don't spoil the party.

[shaker]

All these phantom drafts and so called experts opinions get a bit tiresome after a while I'll be glad when it's done , everyone one roughly knows the top ten after tomorrow we will know where they end up

Knightmare has updated his phantom draft. And despite getting McCartin, I like it. some highlights;
#8 Gold Coast Liam Duggan
#12 Richmond Corey Ellis
#17 Essendon Lachlan Weller

Laverde might go a lot earlier though

Imagine if Melb were thinking the same as the Saints and identified that there aren't many great key fwds coming up in the next couple of drafts. And it went
1. McCartin
2. Brayshaw
3. Wright
4. Petracca

I mean Melb would have been set on McCartin for a while, have lost Clark and Frawley over the last few seasons, and Dawes is 27 next year.

Doubt it would happen, but there is an argument for it

If we don't get Petracca, I just don't want GWS getting him... They offered us pick 4 and 7 for pick 1 because they wanted Petracca so badly... SO that means they would get what they want and still have pick 7.
